Chapter 2517: Slaughter

Bamboo Village quickly fell into chaos. These monsters, who didn't know where they came from, killed everyone they saw. Strangely, they could extract a kind of fluorescent blue energy from the bodies of some villagers.

Not all villagers had this energy in their bodies, but all those with strong combat power did. What was puzzling was that these villagers wouldn't use this energy to fight.

The shouts in Bamboo Village were endless. The humanoid monsters quickly dispersed. They looked as if they couldn't even speak clearly, but in reality, they cooperated tacitly. What was even more unexpected was that these monsters actually knew how to scout the terrain first. The strange things in Bamboo Village last night were because a monster came to scout the terrain.

Behind Bamboo Village, in the courtyard of the chief's house, the door of the room inside was pushed open. The chief, wearing a gray long robe and a long blade hanging at his waist, walked out of the room, followed by Liu and little Qingshi.

Liu didn't carry a weapon, while little Qingshi held a short blade that fit his size. Although he was small, his momentum was quite strong.

The other children had left, but Qingshi couldn't. He was the chief's direct descendant. While he had higher potential, there was also more Origin Power in his blood, so he would be tracked.

"Shi, Grandpa can't protect you. You can only rely on yourself. Feel the 'Qin' in your body and let it seep into your blade."

The chief raised his hand, wanting to pat Qingshi's head, but his hand stopped in mid-air, and in the end, he could only put it down.

"Grandpa, I can protect myself. Please protect Lord Liu's safety."

"You..."

Liu had words but couldn't say them. At this point, saying anything was superfluous.

"As expected of my grandson."

A smile appeared on the chief's serious face. However, when this trace of a smile disappeared, he gripped the hilt of the blade at his waist.

Zing~

The long blade was unsheathed, and a dark blue aura erupted.

A sound of wind breaking came, eventually smashing through the roof and landing in the house on the right side of the small courtyard. The next moment, a roaring sound appeared, cold ice and spatial fluctuations spread, and the crisp sound of slashing rang out endlessly.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Liu's mouth twitched. His thought was that the monster really knew how to pick a place to smash.

With a bang, a monster whose arms were severed, head completely frozen, and back of the neck torn open, smashed through the door, fell into the courtyard, and rolled a few times before stopping.

Su Xiao, holding a long blade, walked out of the door, his face still stained with a few drops of blood.

"These things, did I attract them?"

Su Xiao spoke while walking. He could determine that the chief had already sensed the Origin he was carrying.

"No, the special Origin you carry won't attract them. It's the Origin in our blood that attracted them."

"Oh."

Su Xiao leaped onto the roof with the hole. He was prepared to change to a spacious place to fight. Once a chaotic battle started, he and the chief would definitely have blade rays flying everywhere, which might accidentally injure Amu and Baja.

Seeing Su Xiao leap out of the small courtyard and quickly pull away, the chief prepared to use this small courtyard as a battlefield. His thought was the same as Su Xiao's. In a chaotic battle, two blade-master masters killing enemies together was simply a nightmare for nearby friendly forces, unless they held back.

Su Xiao leaped among the houses. Before long, he saw a monster devouring a villager's corpse.

The Apostle's Eye floated behind Su Xiao, beginning to detect.

【Due to Intelligence attribute crushing the enemy, 100% of the enemy's data has been obtained.】

Category: Tianba Race (Erosion degree over 95%)

Prompt: Origin Power is divided into two major categories: Qin and Ni.

Strength: 142 (True Attribute)

Agility: 145 (True Attribute)

Stamina: 148 (True Attribute)

Intelligence: 83

Charisma: 12

Skill 1, Origin Blood (Passive, Lv. 59): Health +9300 points, body extremely tough.

Skill 2, Heavy Weapon Master (Basic Passive Ability, Lv. 40): Originally Grandmaster Lv. 3, but due to mental confusion, technique-type abilities have slipped to Master level.

Skill 4, Qin (Exclusive Passive, Lv. 40): After melee attacks hit the enemy, it will additionally deal 370 points of damage ignoring physical defense, and form a damage-deepening effect, dealing a percentage of the enemy's maximum Health, initially 5.5%.

Skill 5, Origin Spread (Unique Active, Lv. 10): Can strengthen oneself by absorbing the Origin energy in others.

Su Xiao saw the Tianba race again. This template of a small boss for everyone was simply too impressive. Su Xiao faintly remembered that Amu was shot to severe injury by a Tianba with Ni characteristics.

At that time, Amu had just upgraded its strength once, with Health increased by over 40,000 points, and was in a state of being invincible. As a result, it was educated by a Tianba with Ni characteristics. Jumping up and shooting three arrows to stack the damage-deepening 'Ni,' and then shooting two more arrows upon landing, and another arrow while rolling—that shooting speed was ridiculously fast.

And the Tianba race in this world was clearly stronger. The Tianba race in front of him had been thoroughly eroded by Origin Power and was somewhat mentally confused. If it were in a normal state, its technique-type abilities would be at Grandmaster Lv. 3. Technique-type abilities at Master level and Grandmaster level were simply two different worlds.

In the small courtyard enclosed by low walls, the Tianba Chihei was lowering its head to devour. The Origin Power in the villager's blood attracted him, making his mind even more chaotic.

Suddenly, Chihei stopped chewing. His entire body, showing a blue tint, looked toward the direction of Su Xiao. Just by seeing Su Xiao for the first time, Chihei leaped up, keeping his distance from Su Xiao first. Instinct made him lower his center of gravity, and the iron rod embedded with sharp blades in his hand was held behind him, the tip of the rod piercing into the ground.

Chihei didn't dare to move. The instinct forged in battle told him to run quickly. He was definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him. If he didn't run, his head would be chopped off.

Chihei used the last trace of his reason to suppress the urge to run. He was once a Tianba. Even if he became a monster, he had his own honor and responsibility. Tianba would never run.

Only to see Chihei's three-meter-tall body curl up, using a very strange posture to hold the blade rod with both hands.

"Yi... Ha!"

Chihei let out a strange cry. This somewhat sharp sound was calling for reinforcements from his companions.

The blade rod plowed through the mud, and numerous diamond-shaped rocks gathered together, spreading forward rapidly in an impact form. These rocks were pitch black, and the edges were very sharp.

Click, click, click~

Diamond-shaped rocks instantly filled the entire small courtyard. Looking at the appearance, they were about to explode, forming sharp fragments splashing everywhere.

Zing, zing.

The long blade slashed rapidly, blade rays crisscrossing. Su Xiao shattered a large area of diamond-shaped rocks and rushed toward Chihei.

Seeing this, Chihei raised the blade rod in his hand high, smashed it on the ground, and swung it along. Diamond-shaped rocks spread toward Su Xiao.

The long blade shattered a large area of diamond-shaped rocks. Su Xiao didn't stop at all, using the blade rays to open the path, and rushed in front of Chihei in a few steps. Broken black rocks splashed everywhere.

Dong~

A ring-shaped impact spread with Chihei as the center. Anything that touched this ring-shaped impact was immediately clung to by black rocks.

Chihei's eyes looked left and right, perception fully open. The enemy disappeared in front of him. The next moment, a sense of crisis struck from behind him.

Chihei lowered his body, his right foot swept the blade rod in his hand, letting the blade rod rotate backward. At the same time, his back was covered in black rocks, and he collided toward the rear. No matter what, he was once a Grandmaster who used heavy weapons. Some things would never disappear.

Squelch.

The long blade pierced through Chihei's neck, and a burst of energy invaded his body. His body went numb.

Chihei's eyes brightened slightly. At the moment of death, the influence of Origin Power on him disappeared.

Su Xiao released the hilt in his hand, changed his grip to push, and the long blade spun, chopping off Chihei's entire head.

【Prompt: You have killed a high-erosion Tianba. You have obtained Soul Coin x10.】

【You have obtained Soul of Ba x1.】

【If you have not reached the Origin God Village, the Soul of Ba can be brought out of this world and used to strengthen equipment.】

【Prompt: Only equipment of Epic Grade or higher can withstand the strengthening of the Soul of Ba, and the strengthening level is up to +8. The number of Souls of Ba required for each strengthening increases. After strengthening to +8, this equipment will be converted into 'Origin Characteristic' equipment.】

【If you successfully reach the Origin God Village and hold the Soul of Ba, you can exchange for rare items from the Blind Old Man in the Origin God Village.】 ===== CHAPTER 2518 =====
